Ahh, the magic of blocking with craft glue! These Scandi-inspired starburst mirrors are crochet, but not as you know it. Learn how to block using water and glue for a statement make that holds its own shape and makes an impact. Crocheted in the round, enclosing the mirror, the arches are added last using simple chains.

Today I uploaded a new podcast, episode 24! This time last year I sat down in front on my iPhone and nervously recorded my first crochet video podcast. Starting new things is always so hard! Who’s with me? But I also really wanted to give it a go and knew if I waited until I was ‘ready’ (less tired, not on my iPhone, more experienced at public speaking) it...
One of my most popular makes that I always get asked about is the Butterly Blanket I made last year for my friend's new baby. I loved making this blanket: just enough stitch variation to keep my interest over a larger project, but easy enough to remember the pattern after a few repeats.
The finished blanket is around 85x85cm, and uses a 8ply (aran/worsted weight)...
